Release Notes:
'Don't hurry for heaven' is the new record from virginia's
devon sproule to follow on from the critically acclaimed and
successful 'keep your silver shined'. devon has spent much of
the last two years touring the uk and europe, both solo and
with her band - touring with richie havens, lambchop's kurt
wagner, and supporting back-to-back nights in london with
lucinda williams. she was the first american to grace the
cover of froots magazine and her appearance on 'later with
jools holland' cocked the ears of fans and industry alike,
informing them that yes, her surname does indeed rhyme with
'rock 'n roll'. recorded in a remote rural studio in england,
the album captures the fantastically tight band that toured
most of the summer festivals last year, produced by her
husband the formidable guitarist and songwriter paul curreri,
and featuring the pedal-steel playing of the legendary bj
cole. and the great jesse winchester, a fellow southerner (and
hero of sproule's), also makes a cameo appearance. continuing
in the tradition of her previous works, 'don't hurry for
heaven' sports a variety of sonic influences. sproule's
youthfulness and romantic sense of humour are deepened by a
hurling undercurrent of musical ambition and multi-genre
awareness - amongst her own jazzy country songs, sproule and
curreri even duet on a left-field, desert-bluesy version of
black uhuru's 'sponji reggae'. her effortless delivery of a
deceptively complex melody, or her charmingly badass guitar
work, give out an infectious vitality that simply enthralls.
